669359 2008-05-29 03:03:00 Actually, as part of MS deal with continuing to sell XP Home, Touchscreens cant be bundled as part of UMPC's, nor can the screen be larger than 10.5" IIRC...

Im happy even with the 701, but admittedly the larger screen size (1024x600 instead of 800x480) would be nicer. HDD space isnt an issue, $50 for an 8GB SDHC card and thats plenty.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to live without an optical drive! :D

669360 2008-05-29 03:50:00 Arms race anyone?

I keep saying "I'll get one when the 10" screen comes", or "when the touch screen comes"...

At this stage I might just wait until it all stabilises and I'll be able to get a 32" sub notebook for $30... with a touch screen.
They are improving(?) so rapidly, that the one I fancy won't even need me. It will just e-mail me saying how much it has done for me this week, and how much I have enjoyed it. I can devote myself totally to filtering the headaches out of beer.

669364 2008-06-03 10:08:00 The MSI Wind looks like a better option (price-wise at least). It's been given a glowing review by LaptopMagazine www.laptopmag.com

For the time being, my 1st gen Eee will last me till early next year at least - by then there will probably be even more options available on the market.
